Grape Varieties:
Chenin Blanc (100%)
On colour
This Cap Classique Chenin Blanc is likely a pale lemon to lemon colour with a subtle green tinge, reflecting its youth and high acidity, with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles typical of bottle-fermented South African sparkling wines.
On the nose
The aromas are likely fresh and fruit-led, showing green apple, pear and citrus (lemon, lime) alongside riper notes of white peach, with subtle floral hints and a touch of biscuit or dough from time on the lees.
On the palate
The palate should be dry with pronounced acidity, a light to medium body and a creamy mousse, carrying flavours of crisp orchard and citrus fruit, some stone-fruit ripeness, and gentle autolytic notes of brioche or bread dough, finishing with a refreshing, saline edge.
On the whole
A bright, Chenin-driven Cap Classique with crisp fruit, fine mousse and subtle bready complexity.
